NAME
       nigrep - search for a regular expression in the NetInfo hierarchy

SYNOPSIS
       nigrep expression [ -t ] domain [ directory ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       nigrep  searches  through the specified domain argument for a regular expression.  It searches the domain's directory hierarchy depth-first
       starting from the root directory. It can also start from each directory specified on the command line.

       The domain argument can be specified as an absolute or relative domain name. The domain argument can be specified as a network  address	or
       hostname and tag if preceded by the -t option.

       On  output,  nigrep  prints the directory ID number of the directory which contains the regular expression, and the property key and values
       where it was found.  A line is printed for each property that contains the regular expression.

OPTIONS
       -t     Specify domain as a network address or hostname and tag.

EXAMPLES
       % nigrep '[Nn]et' /

       % nigrep '[Nn]et' -t 192.42.172.17/local

       % nigrep '192.[0-9]+.172' -t astra/network /machines

       % nigrep '/Net/server.*/Users' .. /users /mounts
